Personalized Tag help

Obviously most of the good ones are already taken... so I have to get creative...

I need help.

I can either get a Barber Motorsports tag that has checkerboard on it but is limited to 5 characters, or I can get a normal personalized tag that has room for 7.

I am trying to find variations of one of the following themes:
size
checkers (my car has lots of checkers)

or something other clever.

For the 5 character:
CHKM8 is unavailble
ACLSZ is available, but wife says not obvious enough
XL is available

For the 7 character:
ACTLSZ is available
CHECKM8 is unavailable
CHCKM8 is available

Can you guys help me brainstorm some good ideas, or maybe workable variations on these? Or if you see one I listed above that I said was available that you love, let me know.

Thanks

I always thought you could leave out vowels and still get away with it. I like CHCKM8, that works pretty well. If you want to follow the checkered theme, what about CHECKRD or the like? You mentioned XL but ever think of doing something like XTRALRG, XTRASML, or XXL/XXS? There's also CHCKMA8.

Any ideas for 5 letter tags? That checkered Barber Motorsports tag is pretty cool.

5 is tough. Hell, 7 is hard muchless 5. I came up with CHKRZ/CHKRS. CHKRD also works a little. You could always do THSBG but that's a little confusing. Good luck. I'll be sure to post if I come up with anything else.

When you get your new tag, let us know what it is. I'm betting you will come up with something great.

Thanks to Bobj.

My tag will look like the above Barber Motorsports tag with the checkers, and this is what will be on it:

R56

I can't believe it wasn't already taken. It's reserved for me now.
